An Open Letter

Dear Fic Fairies,

Please stop whittering around my head. The darling-laden, oh-so-precious school of fic-writing was a part of my misspent youth (ie, before my 34th birthday) so you're simply not going to have any luck around here, honest. Please let me get back to bashing the Descendant outline into decent shape, as I'm much happier doing that, not dealing with ideas like Kaldor City fanfic.

Love,
Me.

Fic and Fairies and LEGION! Uh, I mean...

Thanks to quarkz for the icon. I'm saving the animated one that another Ljer has offered to make for me for my regular journal. That moment in The Satan Pit is one of my favorites - how Toby flips from terrified geek, to completely scary and back again in an instant.

Anyways, thinking of silencing things - hence the icon - I think I just swatted the Fanfic Idea Fairy that was buzzing around my head suggesting that I consider bashing out a bit of Kaldor City fanfic.

"Alright," I said to the noisy thing, "I'll give that some serious thought ONLY if I can make it work as an audio script".

I've read a few radio scripts, bashed out a couple in high school - anything to avoid doing a regular paper - and listened to lots of audio productions. The scripts are not easy to write - all the challenges of teleplays and no visuals to do the storytelling for you. Oy. I think that demanding that sort of structure from the Fic Fairy has iced its wings. I hope.
